### 4/5 — Decent crossword

*2024-04-17, version 1.2.0*

All good, but one niggling fault: It can only show two lines of a clue. If the clue extends to third line, it is not visible.

### 5/5 — Scam.

*2023-06-21, version 1.2.0*

I did not sign up for an upgrade yet this app has automatically added the unlock all puzzles and it will not let you apply for a refund.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-03-01, version 1.2.0*

Clean running app, enjoyable to play with great puzzles

### 3/5 — Okay puzzles

*2023-02-13, version 1.2.0*

How can you check your answers? I have completed a cross word but it is not showing as successfully completed like others with the tick. I’m assuming there’s a wrong answer somewhere but no way of checking ??

### 1/5 — Stupid product

*2022-04-09*

The keyboard keeps disappearing and you have to keep scrolling down to every clue

### 1/5 — Setup

*2022-02-27, version 1.1.2*

The set up is wrong. Can’t see questions and grid together. Delete button takes you back to previous clue not remove a letter. Rubbish
